..."Last autumn, Ukraine launched two spectacular counter-offensives. It seized back almost all of Kharkiv oblast in the north-east of the country, and the regional capital of Kherson in the south, plus surrounding territory on the right bank of the Dnipro River.
Since then, however, Russia has regained the initiative. It has made slow but steady progress towards Putin’s goal of “liberating” the Donbas. That means gaining control of all of Donetsk province and the last remaining pockets of Luhansk oblast still in Ukrainian hands.
The head of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has personally led a campaign to recruit criminals from Russian prisons to fight on the eastern frontline. He has claimed credit for Russian tactical gains in the region, including the capture last month of the Ukrainian town of Soledar, immediately north-east of Bakhmut.
A second prison tour to drum up additional soldiers has been less successful, as reports of the atrocious casualty rate in Ukraine filter back to Russia. Ukraine’s parliament and the US have designed Wagner an international criminal organisation."

geez is Stalingrad all over again. When the one with the rifle gets killed the one with the 5 rounds of ammo takes the rifle and SHOOTS! I know that was in a movie but it tells the tale well.
